Thanks friends! A better picture (which would not be hard) is called for. It's pretty gray here today. But thanks again.

Thank you sir! Funny, for quite awhile now, we've had either grey rainy or blasting full sun. No in between unless I get up before I'm used to;)

WHAT?!?!? I was told in this thread it was ok to do that. I asked because I didn't want to ruin my pocketknives long-term. Is it not true?

I had a Queen trapper knife set in display case made in the mid 70's, that came with the blades 1/4 open inset into the display. The knife was never even taken out of the display for over 30 years. When I sold that set recently, the blades had very little snap to them. I would say they lost over 1/2 their original snap strength.

I'll repeat what Gevonovich stated about having two blades a quarter open on the same spring. Not just long term but personally I make a conscious effort not to do that at all. It puts stress on both ends of the spring and can lead to breakage of the spring.

I know this because it happened to one of my scout knives when I opened two implements on the same spring to take pictures of the knife. Snapped the spring right in half as soon as I opened the second implement. All I wanted to do was take a picture and then close the blades. It's not common but it can happen and when it does it's too late to prevent it. Long term or not, I strongly advise against stressing both ends of the spring for any length of time.

I'm glad you mentioned this. I often take photos of my knives in the same position as your picture. I'll be sure to heed your advice to make sure I don't have an unpleasant experience.
